this one-liner runs a small installer script that downloads the latest release archive from github, unpacks it, then makes the contents executable. the current install script can be viewed [here](https://github.com/master-hax/pixel-backup-gang/blob/install/install.sh). piping strange scripts from the web into a root shell is generally not a good idea, but it is convenient. try not to make a habit of it. 😅

* if you are running these steps on WSL, you should use the adb executable from windows (which has USB support) with `make mobile-install HOST_ADB_COMMAND=/mnt/c/Users/someone/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb.exe`
